Business Outlook

Pros

Relaxed environment and general freedom to choose what you work on as an Engineering Intern. Lots of freedom to choose your own work schedule, although this may be team dependent.

Cons

Leadership seems a little confused at times, and non-engineering roles are not treated as well. The pay for interns can vary widely even for the same position.
